True Saturation, Brightness, Contrast

[TylerH]

Who can deny it? The current saturation, brightness, and contrast post effects just are lacking. They seem to basically play with the brightness, period. So I searched online, and found an existing S.B.C. function written in GLSL.

 

I went ahead and replaced the setup in postfilter.frag to utilize this function, and I now get much better results when using the Saturation, Brightness, and Contrast sliders. They just seem to give me the right "feel" of appearance for the values. Brightness of 2.0 looks twice as bright, not twice as gray/washed out, etc.

 

Below is a drop in replacement for postfilter.frag:

[Pixel Perfect]

Sounds great. Can't wait to try this Tyler. Thanks

[L B]

Screenshots? Comparison? I'm too lazy to change it without knowing there will be a noticeable difference.

[L B]

People seem to love downrating my comments and profile.

[wailingmonkey]

I didn't 'down-rate' you (don't ever really check those things nor think they mean much), but come on:

 

Below is a drop in replacement for postfilter.frag

 

you can't take the time to do that, why should he?...or move on and save your comments for yourself.

 

(doing the above quote would have taken less time than me commenting now )

[L B]

Did it, tested, saw no difference at all (I took 2 screenshots). Hence why I asked for a preview.

[wailingmonkey]

ergo, not exactly what you said at first, is it?

 

 

anyhow, not trying to demonize you....just get tired of seeing people put stuff up for

free and of their own sweat and then have those that reap the rewards barely manage to

either put forth some of their own effort to try it, or at the very least say a bit of 'thanks'...

 

apologies for derailing, TylerH.

[Josh]

Why do people not like you? I like you.

[L B]

Why do people not like you? I like you.

Heh thanks. Should sig it, although I already have 2 good ones. It'll be the next one

You're right, sorry. Thanks for taking some of your time Tyler, although I see no difference at all.

[TylerH]

I will do some comparison shots in a moment here, assuming I don't get sidetracked.

[Michael Betke]

I tested it yesterday and don't see a difference too. Maybe it depends on which TFT you look at the scene.

[Marleys Ghost]

I will do some comparison shots in a moment here, assuming I don't get sidetracked.

 

 

 

Did you get sidetracked?

[TylerH]

Yeah, I got sidetracked by life, for approximately 2-3 months.
